Not confirmed, but Scottish writer Neil Drysdale posted on Twitter a few days ago that STV2 is to launch on Monday 6 March...

You would assume the rebrand would happen in time for the new city TV stations to come on-stream, rather than branding them STV Aberdeen and then changing it within a month.

Yikes their promos department really isn't very good is it? That last one is bloody awful, can't believe it was broadcast.

Agreed - very dated. They're literally just bashing clips together without any proper story or flow (or even appropriate music)

I very much doubt STV would be looking to give free promotion to programmes that weren't a part of their service.

Is there a minimum requirement in terms of the opt-outs STV need to do each week to provide local content? A big bug bear of mine is when they opt out and then just sling whatever show was supposed to air in primetime post-Scotland Tonight, but for the next week they seem to have absolutely nothing in regards to opt-outs in primetime besides Scotland Tonight! Here are the opts from ITV from Mon-Fri next week:

STV

Mon: Scotland Tonight (11:00-11:30pm)
Tues: Scotland Tonight (11:00-11:30pm)
Wed: Scotland Tonight (11:00-11:30pm)
Thurs: Scotland Tonight (11:00-11:30pm)
Fri: Sod all

Total: 2hrs

ITV Border

Mon: Border Life (8:00-8:30pm), Representing Border (11:15-11:45pm)
Tues: Representing Border (11:15-11:45pm)
Wed: Representing Border (11:15-11:45pm)
Thurs: Representing Border (11:15-11:45pm)
Fri: As network

Total: 2hrs30mins

UTV

Mon: Paul and Nick's Big Canadian Food Trip (8:00-8:30pm)
Tues: Rare Breed - A farming year (7:30-8:00pm)
Wed: As network
Thurs: As network [although post-News they're airing the show the opted out from on Monday]
Fri: Vote 17 (8:00-8:30pm [also 2:00-6:00pm in daytime]), UTV Life (11:15-11:45pm [usually in the 8pm slot but moved due to the election. After this they're showing what they opted out from on Tuesday])

Total: 2hrs

ITV Cymru Wales

Mon: Wales This Week (8:00-8:30pm)
Tues: As network
Wed: As network
Thurs: As network [although they're airing what they opted from on Monday post-News]
Fri: Coast and Country (8:00-8:30pm)

Total: 1hr

Based on the above, in primetime ITV Border are actually doing the most opt-outs next week! I know STV has local channels to produce content for as well, but it seems pretty poor that they're only opting out for current affairs, whilst the other nations (and Border) have a bit more of a variety in terms of the content they're opting out to show.

ITV Border don't usually have RB on a Monday night. However nice (or dunno if I should be shocked) to see we have more than STV

Si-Co
For the sake of clarity, these opt-outs are only for Border Scotland I assume? And shown via all platforms?

Remember its X amount on average of course the year. Scotland Tonight goes way beyond what is required, but does not count towards peak time quoters.

Edit: STV does go above and beyond it peak time quoters aswell, espeical in election years, there a gift from the god all those debates. Last last Friday there was a special on Friday night.
